AKA Deja Vu & Gridiron II short course tyres

AKA Deja Vu & Gridiron II short course tyres

AKA soon have new short course truck tyres available in the form of the Deja Vu and Gridiron II. The Deja Vu is a bar-type tyre for indoor clay and outdoor hard packed tracks. The taller tread pattern cuts through the dust and provides a longer wearing tyre for abrasive tracks. The Gridiron II is similar to its older brother, but refined with a large number of smaller pins that are meant to work well on hard packed tracks with a layer of dust that sits on top. Used in the front the tyre also is good to smooth out steering on 2WD SC trucks. Both tyres are available with red inserts or pre-mounted on AKA Cyclone wheels in clay, super soft, and soft compounds.
